Abu Muntasir – Uncovering the situation of ahlusunnah Iran
sunnairan.wordpress.com Sheikh Abdul Rahman al-Baluchy completed his secondary education in Iran, after which he was admitted to the Islamic University of al-Madeenah al-Munawarah in 1979 where he studied Arabic before joining the Usuluddin (Principles of Faith) and Dawah college. He reached his second year of studies before the policy to expel Iranian students was implemented. He went to Syria to complete his Shariah studies at Damascus university, where he graduated in 1984. He also studied under the scholars of Damascus, such as Sheikh Abdul Qadir al-Arna`out and others. Upon graduation, he enrolled for his Masters degree at al-Awzay college in Beirut where he graduated in 1989. His thesis was on the Baluchi people and Baluchistan. He enrolled for his Ph.D. at the same college and graduated in 1995. His Ph.D. thesis was on The Transformation of Islamic Thought in Iran from Sunni to Shiah during the Safawi Rule. This same topic was not accepted for his Masters Degree owing to certain political reasons. He currently directs the Ahlus Sunnah Association in Iran, London Office.

@willsaghir11
You are an Asshole Koskehs Madar ghaveh.
No difference bet Wahabi and the shia deviatns..
Shia dont believe that the Quran is in the original state. Actually their faith says that the original contains 17,000 verses and thus why their imams do not memorize or pay any respect towards Quran (see Usul-ul-Kafi for reference). They worship graves, to an extent that they swear by Imam reza, which is clear cut shirk. They also say that believing in the imams are the part of faith and not believing in them makes you nonmuslim. Christian believes in trinity..shia on God, Muhammad and Ali
Down with Wahabi !
Thank godness, those sunni arab states are so democratic and accept other religions.
Saudi arabia: absolute monarchy, converting to other religiion is punished with death penalty,…
Fuck all backward hypocrites in all countries
Iranian society is so much more open minded than his own, even though the iranian government sucks, it is not as corrupt as in most arab states
we should be united!!!!
the enemy plan is Divide and Rule!!!!!!!!!!
Wahabi nejes
go and cry forever
I am a shia and I consider the government of Iran an Islamic Regime and not a Quranic Islamic country. However there is a lot of lies in this tape about shia. We as Muslims live in an era of time that accessing all Islamic resources and challenging them in scholarly unbiased fashion against Quran is possible. we all believe in Quran so we need to put it to good use by checking all the differences from various sect in the eyes of quran. then we can be tolerant and unite against common enemy.
Willsaqhir11 he is wrong but also you. Kurds are about 8 millions who are Sunni. Then add central Iran about 2 million and another million in Khurasan.
lol this guy’s a moron..he said 1/3 of the population in Iran is Sunni while it’s far less than 10% haha than I guess 2/5 of Saudi is populated with Shia’s! let’s hope nobody listens to this guy for the rest of his time on earth..
BINGO, yes that’s right the word is K?fir (just testing you). I say no Sunni will enter paradise?? Really where? So according to your logic any utterance by an Ayatollah is what all Shia belief? If this is what you think than surely what any Sunni scholar said or did must be equally what all Sunni belief, right? Don’t you know about the Arab purity rascist system of Mawalis invented by Umar? So according to your logic this will make all Sunnis rascist.!!!!!
You are talking nonsense. The verses you mentioned do not contain the word Kufr but the word K?fir and this word is found 135 times in the Quran. It’s a funny thing with you Shiites: You say that you call no one K?fir who believes in Allah and accepts his messenger (saws), but at the same time you say that no Sunni will ever enter paradise, like for example Grand Ayatollah Rohani mentioned. So for you there are Muslims who will go to hell for eternity. Does this make any sense?
The word Kufr is used 5 times in the Qor’aan; 2:41, 2:217, 25:55, 64:2 and 78:40. And all these verses relate to believe in Allah and what has been revealed to Rasul (saw). Now are you suggesting that Shia do not believe in Allah or that which has been revealed to Rasul (saw)?
I have no fear calling someone a K?fir who thinks that Imam Mahdi controls the universe and every atom of the creation and that Ali will decide on the day of judgment who goes to hell and who goes to paradise. The Shirk and Kufr of the Shia R?fidah is enough to fill volumes of books, so we have our reasons to say what we say. I don’t expand that on everybody who calls himself shiite, because many don’t know, but those who know are Kuffar without the shadow of a doubt.
If i’m not mistaken there is a Sunni Hadith in which Rasul (saw) says that anyone who calls a believer a kafir that kufr will return to to that person saying that HIMSELF! Be carefull my friend Allah does exist.
This is because shiites are kuffar, at least in our eyes. But the shiites claim that the sunnis are their brothers an just another madhhab and so on. So who is the hypocrite? Hypocrisy is when your words don’t match with your deeds or real beliefs. Why don’t you admit that for you sunnis aren’t muslims? Then everything would be clear an no one would complain. But you spread the message of unity around the world but inside iran you kill and oppress…
While the government closes down Shia mosques using various excuses, it refuses to issue new permits to followers to build new Mosques. In Saudi Arabia’s eastern city of al-Khobar the authorities prevent the Shia-population from holding their own Friday prayers in their only mosque As-Saqabeh. The Shia of Saudi-Arabia form the vast majority in Saudis Eastern Province, the Kingdom’s MAIN OIL-PRODUCING REGION (think about that and i’m sure you’ll get the drift).
or the hundreds of Saudi Wahhabi Web sites that call for the outright elimination of the Shia. An Amnesty International report published in 1990 stated that more than 700 political prisoners had been detained without charge or trial since 1983, and that most of the prisoners were Shia. Najran, Qatif and al-Ahsa are the only cities where Shia mosques continue to stand. The Saudi government continues to deny the large Shia population in Medina permission to build a mosque.(cont 4)
Now let’s look at S-Arabia. It has 10% native Shia (i don’t mean the many Shia contract workers from South Asia or the many Shia pilgrims coming there every day, but Saudi Shias) King Abdullah has shown no sign of opting for a policy of inclusion – not even a token gesture, such as a Shia minister and none was recruited by the national guard. Moreover, Abdullah is unable even to stop Wahhabi satellite TV stations from denouncing the Shia “heretics,”(cont 3)
